Chapter 206 The Secret Forest 8
The control cabin door that Chi Lin had kept tightly closed finally opened, and everyone's eyes instantly turned over, staring at the person who appeared there.
Ruan Xi's face was a little pale, but the smile on his face was as bright and warm as the sun.
"Xiao Xi!" He Ziqian immediately stepped forward, thinking that Chi Lin would catch Ruan Xi with his palm. As a result, Ruan Xi suddenly fell from above. He Ziqian immediately reached out to catch the person and held him in his arms.
"Did he fall because he was too tired?" In fact, He Ziqian saw clearly that Ruan Xi jumped down by herself, which scared him so much that his heartbeat was disrupted.
"I danced by myself. Weren't you waiting downstairs to pick me up? We had such a good coordination!" Ruan Xi kept smiling. It didn't look like she was deliberately trying to create an atmosphere. She looked really happy and excited.
He Ziqian immediately realized that the medicine must have been prepared successfully.
"Has the potion been prepared successfully?"
"Well! My professional ability is still very strong. All my hard work these days has not been in vain. I finally caught up!" During this process, if there were any small mistakes or accidents, he might not be able to prepare the potion before the black hole appeared.
"Xiao Hei, come quickly. Let's not be too detailed. Let's just inject directly. I need to take this time to observe the changes in your bodies." Seeing Xiao Hei, Ruan Xi immediately rushed over and opened the medicine box in his hand.
"May I?"
"Um."
Xiao Hei had no intention of resisting, so Ruan Xi immediately injected him with the medicine. Feng Xue and the other little black balls also silently came forward and stretched out their arms.
Well, the injection work is quite large.
However, this little thing is nothing compared to the process of collecting medicinal materials and making medicine.
In order to be able to see the entire process of the drug taking effect, Ruan Xi has made sufficiently meticulous efforts in catalyzing the drug's effects and has also made thorough use of the tree. As long as he is given eighteen hours, he will complete this treatment and wait for the black hole to open with peace of mind.
However, plans are never as fast as changes. Although there are signs of the appearance of a black hole, no one can predict its personality.
The seventh day has passed. Judging from the law of force field changes, it will take at least two more days for the black hole to open. However, this time is enough for Ruan Xi to do what he wants to do, such as collecting more medicinal herbs, or looking for the big monster that has never appeared.
I always feel that this big monster is not that bad. At least, Ruan Xi has never directly felt the monster's murderous intent towards them.
But it just so happened that the more you felt you had time, the less time there seemed to be. The black hole suddenly appeared in the early morning of the eighth day. At this time, it was still eight hours away from the eighteen hours that Ruan Xi had mentioned. The "twists and turns" in the process of the potion taking effect had not yet fully appeared, but had just shown a sign.
"You guys should leave immediately. I can feel that the black hole is very unstable and may disappear at any time. If you miss this opportunity, you may never be able to go back!" Xiao Hei has a natural sense of black holes. Even Xiao Guai's expression has rarely become solemn. He stands side by side with Xiao Hei, with a look of reluctance on his face.
"I can't bear to leave Xiao Hei..."
"You have to go even if you are reluctant, unless you don't want your daddy and father anymore!" Xiao Hei's words sounded very cruel, but it was the truth. Xiao Guai was choked and speechless. His little face froze and tears welled up in his eyes.
"I just can't bear to..." This is a bit shameless. Not to mention Ruan Xi, Xiao Hei also looked helpless. He rarely took the initiative to hug Xiao Guai, put his mouth close to his ear, and said something that made Xiao Guai's eyes suddenly light up.
"We agreed, you can't go back on your word!"
"No regrets!"
After saying that, Xiao Hei looked at Ruan Xi and He Ziqian again, "I'll take you away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ruan Xi and He Ziqian could respond, Xiao Hei turned around and rushed towards the cave, disappearing at the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, Xiao Hei, wait for me! Dad, Father, you guys hurry up and catch up!" Xiao Guai was a little confused, and only reacted now. He quickly followed and ran into the cave. While running, he did not forget to call out to Ruan Xi and He Ziqian.
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian were stunned for a few seconds, looking at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. However, the strong melancholy they had felt before had faded a lot after this commotion.
"We can't be as insightful as Xiao Hei." Ruan Xi sighed, and felt even more admiration for Xiao Hei.
"Let's go, Xiao Hei has made the best choice for us." In fact, He Ziqian had the same idea as Xiao Hei, and he hardly hesitated, because in his heart, Ruan Xi always came first and Xiao Guai came second. As long as the safety of his lover and son was guaranteed, everything would be easy.
The two of them quickly followed. As soon as they stepped into the cave, a long buzzing sound suddenly sounded in Ruan Xi's head, as if something had broken through the confinement and regained its freedom at this moment.
The next moment, Ruan Xi's brain was washed over and over again by a huge but contradictory and very soft force. Not to mention his body, he felt his soul trembling. His legs went soft and he fell to the ground. Fortunately, He Ziqian had been following him slightly behind. As soon as he realized that something was wrong with him, he immediately reached out and pulled him into his arms.
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you?" He Ziqian didn't feel anything unusual, so Ruan Xi's abnormality made him feel particularly nervous.
"Something very powerful just came out..." Ruan Xi didn't know how to describe what he felt, and the words he said were somewhat inadequate. He also had to fight against the dizziness, and he was really busy. When he was anxious, his throat became very itchy, and he even started to retch, which made He Ziqian so anxious that his brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" (川) shape.
Ruan Xi couldn't stop dry heaving, and even using his inner powers to calm down was no use. "Dashu, can you sense what that thing is? I can only sense its presence, but it doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us..."
Was it the monster they'd never seen? If it was, what was it trying to do by suddenly appearing in this cave? Was it waiting for the black hole to open? Or was it trying to destroy it and prevent them from leaving?
Thinking of all these possibilities, Ruan Xi's face turned pale. This big monster was more powerful than they could imagine. It might even be a creature from a higher plane. If they really had to face such a creature, how could they possibly win?
"Never mind, let's find the black hole first!"
Since he hadn't sensed any malice or even murderous intent emanating from the thing hiding in the dark, he took a bold gamble, betting that the big monster just wanted to use them to take a ride on the black hole.
Suddenly, Ruan Xi thought of another possibility, and his eyes widened in shock, and he felt unwell.
If the big monster wants to follow them on a ride through the black hole, doesn’t that mean it has to go back with them?
At this time, Ruan Xi had no intention of considering whether the black hole could really take them back to their original world and their home. He was only worried about the purpose of the big monster's appearance. Until they caught up with Xiao Hei and Xiao Guai and saw that the black hole, which was only as big as a bowl, was expanding little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, Ruan Xi still could not figure out an answer.
"It really is a black hole! Dad, can this black hole really take us home?" Xiaoguai actually doesn't have a very real concept of "home". He just stubbornly believes that wherever his dad is, that is his home, and he just needs to follow his dad.
"Um."
However, after responding to this, Ruan Xi found that he himself was not so sure.
Yes, how could he have overlooked the possibility that he might not be able to return home after entering a black hole? However, now that the arrow has been drawn and cannot be retrieved, he must give it a try, otherwise he will definitely regret it.
The black hole expanded faster and faster. In less than ten minutes, it had turned into a large circle with a diameter of one and a half people's height. Moreover, it fell directly to the ground and they could walk into it.
Ruan Xi couldn't help swallowing. If she said she wasn't nervous, she would be lying.
"Xiaoxi, let's go."
He Ziqian held Ruan Xi's hand, silently passing on strength.
"Well, it's time for us to go back. We still have a lot to do." He has not yet become the strongest doctor and pharmacist in the Yinyu Empire, nor has he found the unsettling mastermind behind the scenes. It is even possible that they will have to face a war breaking out from within as soon as they return.
Of course, it is also possible that they can never go back.
However, nothing could stop him from wanting to go home.
"Dad, don't be afraid, Xiaoguai will protect you!" Xiaoguai also ran over and held Ruan Xi's hand, holding it tightly.
"Okay, Xiaoguai is awesome."
The family of three walked hand in hand to the edge of the black hole. Then, they all turned their heads and looked at Xiao Hei who was standing silently beside them.
"Xiao Hei, take care."
"Take care of yourself."
"Xiao Hei, remember what you promised me. I will always remember it!" Xiao Guai also shouted. No one knew what Xiao Hei had said to him. He was not depressed at all at this moment. On the contrary, he was very excited, which made people curious.
But obviously, this is not a good time to be curious.
"Remember, I will never go back on my word!" Xiao Hei once again made his promise, and his eyes looking at Xiao Guai were filled with a hint of tenderness.
After a brief farewell to Xiao Hei, Ruan Xi and the other two took a step forward and stepped into the black hole. The figures of the three disappeared in an instant, leaving Xiao Hei standing alone in the empty cave, watching the black hole shrink rapidly after Ruan Xi and the other two entered, until it disappeared. The force field brought by the black hole also dissipated instantly, as if the black hole had never appeared.
"goodbye……"
At this moment, Ruan Xi and the other two who had already entered the black hole were experiencing a unique shock.
"Dad, what a big snake..."
Ruan Xi was stunned when he saw the giant golden snake in front of him. He couldn't see the length clearly, and the head alone was as big as a three-story building.
Damn, how compatible is he with snakes?
